[QUOTE="tahtah, post: 5559770, member: 19176"] It sounds like you're saying the first and second year of a stand placement is the most productive for a mature buck, on the first sit. I'm not sure I'm following your explanation of why you think it's better the second year. You said you finally realized it was because of the reason you moved it, but wouldn't that make the first year the most productive? I'm probably just not reading it correctly. However, that really wasn't what I was trying to ask, let me give it another try. If you hunt a particular stand and see a mature buck on the first hunt, but for whatever reason, you do not get a chance to kill him. Based on your observations, the odds of seeing him again from that stand that year are lower with each sit. If no one kills him throughout the year, do you think the odds of seeing him the following year, from that stand, on the first sit start over? Or do you think he remember that stand from that first year, first sit encounter and avoid it from then on, even the following year(s)? Again, that might be tough to know as it would require all your hunters knowing every mature buck. Thanks for sharing all your insights!! [/QUOTE]
